I will say this is beautiful and sad and I love Kocoum fics. Pocahontas came out when I was 6 years old and the creators made Kocoum dislikeable, quiet, and too serious, a stark contrast to the pleasant, congenial John Smith.

Now I feel incredible sadness for him. Most likely he was a good man who deeply cared about Pocahontas, but she could not return his feelings, nor was the audience given enough insight to his character.

Wow, my two favorite fandoms, Rent and Pocahontas. Wonderful, inventive, and brilliant work as always. It was great to hear from Kokum for a change in such a wonderful heartbreaking way. Brava my friend.

I really liked the way you managed to lead the reader through Koccum's death.

It broke my heart that he thought that it was Pocahontas holding his hand as he confessed what he felt for her :'(

Still a marvelous one-shot!

I agree with you, Koccum's character must have been more explored in the movie. Even when he is completely serious, he barely speaks at all! Not to mention he only had little scenes :/ But I guess that's why they call them 'supporting characters', which I am completely against since sometimes they are the ones who hold the interesting stories ;)

Though, I still believe John Smith deserved Pocahontas more than Koccum did. He spent time with her, and he actually smiled at her XD

Can't wait for the next chapter of 'Pathways To Peace', Keep up the good work! :D
